Ah ok, I will do this the next time ;)
I am not quite sure with the AWY thing but I think this exists in reality. I know it from Wilco series MCDU and last summer after a flight in an A320 I visited the cockpit and together with the captain I entered the next flight and I am pretty sure that this procedure was the same I know from Wilco series.
Btw, do you have "Prof. McDoo" A320 MCDU trainer? I got this from an Airbus pilot but the CD does not work here...
Hopefully I can get this thing running.
Never heard of this prof mcdoo, but I know there is a FMGS trainer available on various torrent providers.
For the AWY, I'm doing my homework right now ;)

I read in the manual of this MCDU trainer that this software is for pilot training before training in the simulator. On the pictures I see that the MCDU is well done and full of pages. I think it would be a nice source to fill your MCDU. But somehow my computer does not recognize the CD...
For the AWY input, it seems it depends on the version of MCDU software (honeywell or thales). Since I have a manual for the Thales MCDU, that's the version I replicated.
And it seems there is no such way to enter an AWY.
However, on the trainer I have which is honeywell, in the LAT REV page you can only insert one AWY/WPT at a time, with the syntax you wrote.
If you could confirm that?
Yes, I think this is it! Thank you for this information :)
Hello dear beta testers ;)
The latest version is available: http://www.jeehell.org/A320FMGS_B12.zip.
What's new:
-Sound Module, run separately now. All implemented sounds should work correctly every time now (not once every few flights...)
-EXPED and LOC functions on FCU
-Runways appear on the ND
-E/WD and SD values out of range are displayed in amber
-Autobrake and ground spoilers logic should work correctly now
-Flaps logic should be good now (levers on position 1 either gives 1 or 1+F as per the real ACFT ops)
-Fuel Used and Fuel Data Link under FS9 now operationnal
-DECEL point sets managed speed at Vapp
-ND turns should be correct for every turns
-Corrected more bugs on the VNAV calculation.
-AP enhanced:
-ATHR is now homemade and no longer FS (some bugs with FSare gone, some new are probably here now)
-Oscillations especially at lows speeds and high angle of attacks should be less brutal
-ALT* mode will no longer make the ACFT take 3000ft/min or more, it should be a smooth transition between CLB/DES and ALT*
-LOC should not overshoot more than once if intercepted below 220kts and at more than 10nm DME from threshold.
-Enhanced LAND, FLARE and ROLL OUT modes: the aircraft will now flare, idle thrust, and try to align on the runway heading.
-Trim on ground will no longer move
-Embryo of alpha and overspeed protections: the FBW will give nose down/up instructions. However, it is far from perfect and accurate at the time
-Christoph modified the FMGS SCREEN font to correct the minute symbol on the ND chrono, so don't forget to reinstall that font!
-The user guide is up to date, and from now on, new or corrected items are marked with a red on green arrow.
I feel the software has now reached a point where it is really flyable. Still some stability issues but I really think there has been much progress the past few months.
As usual, your feedback is welcome and much appreciated!

Hello,
A small update to correct really annoying bugs:
http://www.jeehell.org/A320FMGS_B12.1.zip
Corrected the Managed mode and FLEX issues, as well as small glitches on the EWD and SD displays.
Cheers,

Hi,
I had some time to perform a test again. Some issues:
- "Invalid pointer operation" (see screenshot)
- NDs were acting up. They calculated around 3000 NM to the next WPT and they were full of dummy WPTs (see screenshots). But guidance was working properly. Maybe it's just a display problem.
- Sound module played sounds on initial climb ("Terrain! Pull up!" and altitude was counting up ("10, 20, 30 ... 1000, 2500"))
- AP disconnect sound would be nice (maybe just a feature with a dummy file, so the user can replace it by his own file)
- EXPED INOP
- If rotating around 135 kts alpha floor gets active because according to the FMGS I am below stall speed (around 160 kts)

Hello,
The ND displays seems to have e new big bug which found its way in somehow, very weird.
For the stall at rotation, what was your flaps setting? I had a bug in FS9, where I selected flaps 2, the aircraft in FS had the correct setting but the FMGS software didn't get it right, except when in outside view (really weird bug).
I will look into all those bugs.
The AP disconnect sound: no problem to put a dummy file if I cannot find a way to replicate it (free of copyrights of course), and I will try to add it in next version.*
